No matter what you do, it seems quite impossible to keep your Android running without charging it at least twice a day. If you are a power internet user and use Wi-Fi and 3G services like crazy, it is more likely that your Android runs out of battery every 4-5 hours.

CleverConnectivity for Android is a brilliant app which lets you turn off data connection in Android at regular or scheduled intervals, helping you save battery drain. You don’t have to keep Wi-FI or 3G data on all the time; you can configure this app to turn on Wi-Fi in Android at a specific time of the day, keep it on for a defined number of minutes and then turn off data connection automatically. Works wonders!

First, this app automatically turns off data network when your phone’s screen if off and turns it on when the screen is on. The app assumes that since the screen is off, you’re not using the phone and there is no reason why the data network should be on when your phone is in an idle state. Next, you can setup rules and set a desied timeout for data connectivity in Android. This helps you automatically turn off data network in Android after a specific time interval and then turn it back on after a defined time interval.

Let us take a practical use case.

You can choose to configure the app in such a way that data connection will be on for two minutes and then the app will check whether your apps are requesting data or not for 1 minute. If your apps are requesting data e.g email, Facebook, file download etc, then data connection will not be turned off. In every one minute time interval the app will check whether any of your apps are requesting or consuming data or not. If at any given time instance the app detects that your applications are not requiring data connection, the app will turn off data connection for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the app will turn on the data connection again and the cycle will be repeated.

So what happens is that this Android app intelligently detects whether you really need to be connecetd to the internet and toggles your network data conection acrodingly.

One good thing – the app never turns off Wi-Fi or 3G data network if the phone is plugged to a charger.
